This technical article explains how to automate Philips Hue Tap Dial switches using a custom Elixir-based system. It covers connecting directly to the devices via MQTT (using Zigbee2MQTT and the Tortoise311 library) to overcome limitations of direct Zigbee bindings and standard home automation hubs, enabling more flexible control of smart lights.
